The Melbourne Chapter has had a great start to the year with over 30 keen AMCouncil members and associates who got together late February to discuss challenges in transforming culture and behaviour in asset centric organisations. A discussion was had led by Greg Williams, Executive, Executive Director Asset Performance, Yarra Trams, and Julian Watts, Director Engineering & Asset Management, KPMG.

Together they explored the culture and behaviour challenges we all face as asset managers, tackling ones such as what is culture and how does it manifest, why is it important to consider culture and behaviour for asset management, what strategies and tactics work to change culture and behaviour, and what doesn’t work?
